I love truffles! We have all sorts of mushrooms growing but no truffles. In my dreams, I would travel to Provence for truffles. I would love to experience fields of blooming lavender......
I struggle to keep a single lavender plant alive! I am trying to root some cuttings from lavender plants in the library gardens. they are large established plants, they may be adapted to the climate. I am able to winter sow lavender seeds, but the resulting plants haven't thrived.
I have more to add. I caught up with work, so I am heading out to beat the rain. I have a few plants and lots of leaves to move! This evening and tomorrow will be rainy. I hope to finish listing seeds for this swap by Friday. I still have seeds drying, I may find more outside and I have last years garden seeds to add. When I am done with seeds, I can organize my pictures!
Do you have more acorns than usual this year? I have tons!!! Buckets full !!!!! I rake the leaves and the ground is covered with acorns. The squirrels aren't bothering with them this year. Maybe they expect a mild winter?
Are people interested in native plants like pissipiqua, goldenrod, queen anne's lace , native rhododendron, mountain laurel...??? So far, there is only interest in the white flowered milkweed (A. variegata). I understand. It is an unusual variety. I hadn't seen it until I moved to the neighborhood. I have only seen one large stand of this milkweed, but I have started another at the border of the woods by my place. According to reading, it is a native variety, but it is less common than the typical pink milkweed (A. syriaca).
I can list more native plants if people are likely to be interested eventually.
